As an influential voice for America’s soldiers, sailors, airmen, and guardians,
we are a dedicated team committed to building the best professional and representative association for the world’s best Armed Service.
The AFTEA mission is to advocate a strong national defense that will protect the security of the United States. We support a defense budget that will provide modern and sufficient equipment so that our military personnel can safely and effectively accomplish their mission.

AFTEA represents their interests in Congress, at the White House, the Veterans Administration, and the Department of War. We monitor proposed legislation, and we lobby and educate members of Congress and Pentagon officials on behalf of our members.
